Evangelical Church in Central Germany Announces Elections for Church Council Members
The Evangelical Church in Central Germany (EKM) has announced that it will be holding elections for church council members, with voting set to take place from September 20 to October 5. Over 10,000 individuals will be elected in these elections, and approximately 523,000 Christians are eligible to vote.
The EKM covers the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, as well as parts of Saxony and Brandenburg. The elected members will be responsible for various church-related duties and decisions, including making decisions on building projects and the church budget.
The elections are taking place after a six-year gap. The last person elected as chairperson of the EKM was Friedrich Kramer in 2019. Bishop Kramer has urged members to participate in the elections, emphasising the importance of their role in the church.
The elected individuals will be responsible for pastoral care and diakonical work. The term of the elected members will be six years. It is worth noting that the EKM is one of 20 independent Protestant regional churches in Germany.
In 2019, the voter turnout for EKM elections was 30.9 percent. The EKM is encouraging its members to exercise their right to vote and play an active role in shaping the future of the church.
The elections are a significant event for the Evangelical Church in Central Germany, and the outcome will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the church and its community.
